but look at what tom cole also said. look what he said his party's leverage is, either shutting the government down, that's what the cr is, that he mentioned, defense and domestic spending cuts that are dramatic and that both sides agree are too dramatic to threaten, and the debt ceiling which jeopardizes again the full faith and credit of the united states. those three things that the republicans call leverage indicate to me the republicans are willing to bring us to the brink again. that is unacceptable. it's economically impossible for us to even think. we've got to work together. >> can i just ask you quickly, we know about secretary clinton being in the hospital. >> yes. >> do you have any information on her condition? >> i don't. i know hillary clinton is incredibly strong and she's doing the right thing, focusing on her health. so many people who go through a grueling schedule that she puts herself through don't do that. she's doing the right thing, in the hospital, and i'm sure she'll be back after a speedy recov

cole and bob corker and john cornen have said we ought to give on the tax cuts of people under 250,000 is they know that's where the thing is going to end up unless they cut some deal and bring their caucus along on some higher threshold. the president offered 400,000. they could get that. they could probably get 500,000. >> go ahead, bob. >> i was going to say now is the time when we really find out whether republican leadership is an oxymoron. we not only have to rely on john boehner having enough leadership and guts and gumption to put something on the floor his republicans are not going to vote for, but we also have to agree to go through with a bill before the senate that is basically what the president wants so it can put pressure on the republicans and the house. >> he did it in 2011 on the debt limit. >> yes, that's right. that's what people are hoping for. >> there's something fascinating to all of this. ben bernanke gave this situation the name fiscal cliff which sounds very dramatic and very scary. but what it is is an act of congress that they actually voted for. 174 republ

congressman tom cole asked about that earlier today. this was his answer. take a listen. >> he had the complete support of everybody for plan "b" and support in terms of speakership for most of the members opposed so this is a tactical debate and discussion and not over the leadership of john boehner. he will be the speaker. not for two years but for four. >> is it better for the white house for him to be speaker? >> i think what the congressman just alluded to was a little bit of a bait and switch because what majority leader reid is pointing out is that first and foremost it appears that speaker boehner wants to be re-elected as speaker. doing something now prior to the new congress to come in, could threaten the re-election as speaker. if he can put this off until he's firmly established the speakership for the next congress, and then does a deal, presumably he would be buying himself some more time. i guess. i'm trying to think what's forcing this man to do this but you heard the congresswoman bass say if you would bring it up for a vote, anything, eith
